@TreedinAA Great story on the first public H1N1 vacc effort in Washtenaw Cty. Let me know if you need help with pub Qs about H1N1.

...this H1N1 virus has surprised medical and public health experts in key ways - timing of year, age groups affected, etc.
...for more people, will there be enough H1N1 flu still going around to make it worth getting vaccinated? I say yes, mainly because...<cont>
Of course, these are good ideas to stay healthy at any time, whether vaccinated or not. Question is: by time H1N1 vacc is available <cont>
Given supply<<demand for H1N1 vaccine, public will need to continue careful hand-washing, covering coughs, staying home when sick<continued>
Pres. Obama declared H1N1 (swine) flu a state of emergency today. Not because of more severe flu, but because it's so widespread.<continued>
Just completed TweetChat about H1N1 flu. Signing off now; will check back regularly with updates re H1N1 and other hlth issues.
@chirpdeb Alcohol-based sanitizer is expected to be more effective against flu. May not smell as good, but works better. #H1N1swinefluchat
@NPCHdavis Also, most flu vacc do contain thimerosal as a preservative. This has not been proven to be a problem.<cont> #H1N1swinefluchat
@NPCHdavis For this reason, we expect same side effect profile for H1N1 flu vacc as seasonal vacc, and tests support this. #H1N1swinefluchat
@NPCHdavis H1N1 flu vacc has same basic structure as seasonal flu vacc, just different flu proteins to match virus <cont> #H1N1swinefluchat
@sjeder Child w/ T1 diabetes and flu symptoms should be checked by doctor, & may benefit from Tamiflu or other antiviral. #H1N1swinefluchat
@NPCHdavis To be clear: kids under 6 months cannot get either nasal or inj vaccine for H1N1. Other people in home should. #H1N1swinefluchat
